IAC horrified at attack on woman and baby
Sonia and her daughter Keisha were robbed and beaten by three men in the Stabroek area on June 17 as she was on her way to her Essequibo home.
The woman came to the city to collect her husband’s paycheck at Preetipaul Singh Investment
Company.
She was robbed of the $20,000 that was in her handbag and her
baby sustained a fractured left arm and other body injuries when the
robbers took off with five gold rings, 2 pairs of gold bands and one
pair of gold bangle that the toddler was wearing.
The government officials condemned this sad episode
and urged that the law enforcement agencies take additional steps to
further improve security for citizens.
Meanwhile, Sonia and little Keisha are at home recovering
from the traumatic experience.
